About 0.5% of people between the ages 15-64 who have caught the virus, have died. Of course, the percentage is the higher the older the people are but even for young adults it's around 0.2%.

There are ~4,000,000,000 people in the world aged 15-64.
Let's say 1/10th of those people get the virus: 400,000,000 people.
So, 0.5% * 400,000,000 = 2,000,000 dead

2 million people dead, and you say "THERE IS NO REAL DANGER"

Also, those numbers could be even worse but they can also be a lot lower.
Still, taking some precautions is the smart thing to do. If we did nothing, then we really could have 400,000,000 people who get the virus.
